  "account": "CapitaLand Development's Together We Step: Step For Kindness campaign concluded after participants collectively achieved over 490 million steps, surpassing their goal. In recognition of this accomplishment, CapitaLand Hope Foundation (CHF) donated $98,000 to Blue Dragon Children's Foundation as part of CHF's three-year commitment of up to $270,000. The donation supports vulnerable children and youth in Vietnam through education, vocational training, life skills, and leadership development. Over four editions, the campaign involved thousands of CLD employees, residents, business partners, and the public. Blue Dragon Children's Foundation has provided programs for over 200 children and young people, with more than 20 in vocational training and 70 participating in skills development sessions focused on various subjects, including STEM and social and emotional learning. One beneficiary, Thao, 22, found solace and purpose after being rescued from exploitation, pursuing a career in barista training. CapitaLand Development CEO Tan Tze Wooi expressed gratitude for the collective effort, stating that small actions can yield significant results when united for a common cause. Blue Dragon Children's Foundation Co-CEO Skye Maconachie emphasized the foundation's role in helping young people transition from crisis situations to stable futures through education and vocational training. Vietnamese singer Bui Cong Nam added his support by performing at the outdoor community event, highlighting the power of individual contributions to create meaningful impact.",
